Marine Corps Marathon
November 10th, 2008
On October 26, 2008, EMeRG volunteers assisted with emergency operations at the Marine Corps Marathon in the DC Area. The race started in Arlington, VA and ended 26.2 miles later in Washington, DC at the Marine Corps War Memorial. EMeRG worked in conjunction with DC Fire and EMS, Arlington Fire and EMS, and other EMS organizations ensuring the safety and health of the participants and spectators. Congratulations to all participants in the Marine Corps Marathon, especially EMeRG members Katie Lohan, Billy Wolfe, and Scott Crawford!
Halloween Night
November 9th, 2008
With thirteen calls in less than ten hours, Halloween proved to be EMeRG’s busiest night of the year thus far. Based on past experiences on Halloween, EMeRG prepared for the night’s anticipated high call volume with our BLS Ambulance, 2 EMS Bike responders, and 1 First Responder Quick Response Vehicle. For the first time in its history, EMeRG utilized a special Incident Command Structure which enabled it to respond in conjunction with DC FEMS all emergencies on campus. With the multiple crews in service, EMeRG was able to respond to as many as 4 emergencies simultaneously over the course of the night.
